Okay, I am dead freaking tired. I am talking like I took a lot of Nyquil kind of tired.

Yes, I saw lots of people dressed up. No, I wasn't among them. Nor were my kids or wife.

Really an outstanding movie. There are plenty of opportunities to laugh in this one, and of course if you've read the book you know one very sad scene exists.

Overall, I am glad I went, but I have a feeling that they will be calling me by my Indian name today, (Three Tracks in the Sand) because my butt will be dragging.

I forgot one thing. In one of the opening scenes Harry is flirting with a waitress.

Oh my gosh is she ever hot!

Hope no one considers that a spoiler.

I was very disappointed in the movie. I thought they made absolutely horrible choices in what to keep and what to cut from the book. And also changes that were completely unneeded as they would not have affected time or budget at all. And they even added a couple of useless scenes which makes the fact that they cut out some important pieces even worse.

They should have completely cut out the quiddich and not added the burrow or bridge attacks. None really served a purpose and just wasted time and money that would have been spent far better elsewhere. They shouldn't have cut out the battle at hogwarts or the funeral. Snape was done so poorly at the end of this movie it is almost 180 degrees from how he is meant to come across.

There are scenes that they nail 100% dead on, but they failed so miserably at other choices they made. The film also has no life at all save a few moments of Harry intoxicated with luck and a slightly tipsy Hermione. It's very grey the entire time with only a few scenes with a softer brown hue. Very dreary, which fits it some parts, but drags the rest down with it.

When I read this book I couldn't wait for the movie and now it may be my least favorite movie so far (and I did not care for OotP, movie or book very much) and is easily the worst adaptation in the series. I am now very worried with Yates directing the final installments with the poor decision making he has shown.

According to imbd.com her name is Elarica Gallagher. I couldn't find any images of her. It's only her 2nd job.

funny my buddy said it was the 3rd closest one after 1 & 2. he said they cut out the end of the book to put it into the next one as its "bigger" in the next book apparently

They didn't put it into the next movie, it's already there. Both books have a battle at the end, but the one in the last book should take up about the last half of the last movie since it is massive. The battle in HBP is much smaller in scale. They say they didn't want to be repetitive but then the scene they add is along the same lines (but smaller) of a scene near the beginning of the next book, a scene that would be early on in the next movie, not at the end of the latter of 2 movies. Just very stupid really.

She looked much better than that in the movie.

I hope so, because my German soldier didn't budge a millimeter. :eek:

I think she looks better in that clip than she did in the movie, but I definitely prefer the straighter hair style. Her do in the movie wasn't that great IMO.
